Nathan ended up being a Gladiator for Halloween. We weren't sure if we would get any trick or treaters or if neighbors would be handing out candy due to COVID-19 restrictions. We had a decent turnout, though, and Nathan did a little bit of trick or treating. They didn't do the costume parade at his school, but he did have a class party.
I went to Reid Park Zoo on 11/2. My June Noon bloomed again on 11/7. I think it was confused with the record heat we got this summer. I went to the Desert Museum on 11/12. Nathan lost 2 more teeth on 11/13 so he got $13 and $14, respectively, for his 13th and 14th tooth. I went to Tucson Botanical Gardens, Green Things Nursery and the Pima County Cooperative Extension Gardens on 11/20.
Nathan has the whole week off for Thanksgiving. We don't really have plans for Thanksgiving this year. Paul is working and is supposed to be off on Thursday and Friday. We plan to just have a small meal at home. However, I have a "cold" and have lost my sense of taste. I am really hoping it comes back by Thursday so I can enjoy some turkey and good food. Maybe we will get our Christmas tree up later this week, too. We decided not to put up our big one in the living room since Paul and Nathan have their desks in there now. Paul has been working from home and Nathan started off the school year doing remote learning so we set up that area as their office. I think we are only going to put up "Nathan's tree" in the loft/my office. It is really hard getting in the Christmas spirit. It's been a tough year with COVID-19 restrictions. It looks like cases are spiking again which they anticipated so it won't be a big surprise if they start closing things down again. I have also been struggling with peri-menopause this year. Now I am sick with a cold or whatever this may be. We have had miserable record heat and even today, 11/22, it is like 90 out there. I am hoping that 2021 is a better year.
